The border crisis that Obama has manufactured for political purposes only seems to be getting worse, as illegals pour in hoping for amnesty and being dumped at bus stations in Texas and Arizona by the feds.
Texas has had enough of it, which is why they’ve decided to stop waiting on the feds to do their job and just shut down the border themselves.
The state’s Republican leadership has approved of $1.3 million per week in additional border security to stop the wave of illegal immigration into Texas.
This will include the deployment of armed Department of Public Safety Troops to defend the border.
Via America’s Freedom Fighters:
Gov. Rick Perry, Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst and House Speaker Joe Straus said in a joint statement that spending on the “law enforcement surge operations” comes as the result of “the absence of adequate resources to secure the border.” The surge would continue until year’s end.
Last week, Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott asked the U.S. Homeland Security Department for $30 million so Texas could send more state troopers to the border.
“Texas can’t afford to wait for Washington to act on this crisis, and we will not sit idly by while the safety and security of our citizens are threatened,” Perry said in the statement.
If the feds won’t do it, it’s up to states like Texas to take care of business and secure the border. This is a good example of how states can take matters into their own hands and fight back against Obama’s total lawlessness at the border.

I say we build a border fence with a LOT of these: http://gizmodo.com/5955042/south-koreas-auto-turret-can-kill-a-man-in-the-dead-of-night-from-three-clicks
The 2.5-mile wide demilitarized zone separating North and South Korea is the most heavily contested stretch of land on the planet. And if the massive contingent of troops, tanks, bunkers, and land mines weren’t enough of a trespassing deterrent, this eagle-eyed auto-targeting gun turret should do the trick.
Dubbed the “Super aEgis II” and touted by its maker, South Korean defense firm, DoDaam Systems, as a “Total Security Solution,” this automated turret is capable of locking onto and firing upon a human target at a distance of 3 kilometers (1.8 miles). The SEII uses a 35x CCD color camera capable of operating in low light and adverse weather conditions as well as a dual field of view FLIR camera that can pick out a man-sized target 2.2km away in complete darkness and a laser range finder. The entire platform sits atop a gyroscopic stabilizer to ensure accurate shots in high winds and after recoils.
...and that is the rub. Short of shooting them dead, how do you repel illegals once they are on this side of the border? Once they are here, it's either deportation or capitulation.
[ Obama will send in someone evil who will shoot a young immigrant and start a controversy overshadowing all the scandals. ]
I think this is exactly what he is trying to provoke...
This seems to be a fallback position after the Bundy Standoff failed....
For all the money its costing us to care for these illegals we could be building a real border wall and start real enforcement on this side of it.
Yep.
Obama’s Dudes at the White House will be burning the midnight weed to come up with a way to counter thisROFL... (Very funny!)
OUTSTANDING NEWS!!!!
Thank you Texas!!
landmines and signs in several languages wouldn’t cost much.
Go, Cowboys! I like it.
Is Gov Perry taking volunteers?
No chance they would put me on the front line with a weapon, but I can feed and water the troops.
They found a 16 footer hiding in a culvert near where I used to live a few years ago.
Is the headline wrong? Were troops sent or merely authorized
Where did the troops go? What action did they take? What was the reaction of the border patrol?

That’s huge. You should really post this as a stand alone post. I also sent it to Drudge.
Folks, if you missed it, check out this article.
Does 40,000 innocent children brought to the US/Mexico Border due to illegal promises and illegal Executive “Dreamer” Orders from Obama qualify Obama to be placed on the US State Department’s Blacklist for Human Trafficking?
